2K Case Study

The success of sports games relies on engendering a sense of reality – not just in the ebb and flow of the sport itself, but in selling the player on the fantasy that they really are in the sneakers of their favourite players. To capture that sense of authenticity in its famous basketball series, 2K relies on the fidelity of Faceware…

Atomic Fiction Case Study

CGI Face Project Case Study

Faceware’s capture solutions enable true-to-life performances across the spectrum of media, but Jim Su and his collaborators are hoping to take things a step further: pushing CGI faces to the next level of realism.

Counter Punch Studios and House of Moves Case Study

What’s the secret behind Barbie’s half-century of success? That would be Mattel’s ability to shift with the times. For its latest trick, Mattel gave its star her very own vlog; it was just up to House of Moves, their innovative software ‘Helibug’, and CounterPunch Studios – with help from Faceware – to bring her emotive webcam performance to life.

Digic Pictures Case Study

The world-famous Call of Duty series is synonymous with explosive blockbuster entertainment, but fans of the franchise know Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is about more than just bullets and high-octane action. This amazing entry spins its narrative around the human element of war, and that required ground-breaking facial animation to achieve the necessary emotional impact in its cinematic cut scenes. Working under the leadership of Advanced Warfare’s development studio, Sledgehammer Games, it was up to Digic Pictures – along with help from Faceware Technologies – to deliver.

Formosa Interactive Case Study

Facial capture within a voiceover booth is sometimes seen as a technological constraint on artistic performance – but this needn’t be the case.

The Sequence Group Case Study

Master Chief John-117 may have spent the majority of his video game career hidden behind thick armour plating, but in Halo: Fall of Reach we see the iconic hero unmasked – both figuratively and literally. It was up to Sequence Group and Faceware to ensure Master Chief’s facial animation – as well as that of the diverse Halo cast – delivered the strong sense of personality that has seen the character endure for over 15 years.
